Liam Davis & The Raven by Anyta Sunday
4.0
Liam is a wonderful character - a journalism-obsessed nerdy college student with no life. If I had to bet, he's another character I'd say has a touch of Asperger's, as he tries to understand relationships by logical analysis, rather than emotionally. He's sweet and guarded and oblivious and organized, and unaware how lonely he is, as he tries to measure up to his father's standards. The way he works for a crumb of attention from the man tugs at the reader's heartstrings.
There is an array of secondary characters, and it takes a while to figure out who Liam is going to have his emotional epiphany with. It's fun watching them all interact, and there are some interesting sub-themes here. The issues faced by wheelchair-bound Hunter, the mystery of who the anti-bashing vigilante The Raven is, the way Quinn tries to understand the people around him, all add to the enjoyment.
Sometimes I wonder if my own introverted background makes me enjoy these stories of socially-inept MCs so much. Regardless, I had a good time watching Liam figure out his life. And I wouldn't mind seeing the other significant gay character get his own story.
